Chapter 52: The Festival of Lanterns
The weather at the beginning of spring is getting better day by day, and people's mood seems to be the same. Jiang Susu and Xia Yan treated Jiang Ruan very politely, Jiang Li hadn't seen her since she was grounded, and occasionally except for the occasional sneer from her second aunt, the rest of the days were spent plainly, as if she should have been so stable.
Dew Drop poured Jiang Ruan a cup of red date lotus seed tea, adding the newly sent acacia nectar from the kitchen, and the color was shiny and beautiful. Jiang Ruan propped his chin in one hand and casually flipped through the book in his hand.
"The girl also rested, and she has been watching for half a morning." Dew Zhu smiled: "I don't know how to do it, I still think that the girl is going to take the top prize." โ
Bai Zhi scolded with a smile: "The girl is also something you can joke about, and she is becoming more and more unruly." โ
Lu Zhu looked at Jiang Ruan and just smiled: "Originally, girl, did the slave make a mistake?" โ
Jiang Ruan looked at the two noisy maids beside him, and was about to say a few words, when he saw Forsythia walking in with a cold face. Forsythia is smiling on weekdays, and this expression must have met with something. Sure enough, without waiting for Jiang Ruan to speak, Forsythia said: "Fang Cai's slave maid passed by Yanhua Garden, and was stopped by Mama Li beside Mrs., saying that seeing that our Ruan Ju was not manpowered, Mrs. personally picked a few girls, and they will be sent over later." Phew, she also said that she has been safe for the past few days, and she is really uneasy and kind, this is to put someone in our yard. โ
"Be quiet." Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "The partition wall has ears. โ
Dew also frowned: "This is too much." โ
Jiang Ruan smiled and slowly picked up the cup, she couldn't refuse under the banner of being good for her. You can't blatantly suspect the housewife, Xia Yan is always like this, the rude request still has a bright appearance, who knows what kind of dirty thoughts are under the road.
The ears seemed to recall Mama Zhou's words: "Big girl, the old slave has a sentence to say at the risk of death, the death of the lady was not accidental, it must be related to the woman of Yanhuayuan." The old slave wanted to stay in the house to find evidence, and he didn't want to fall to the point where he is now. The big girl may not believe these words, but the old slave has been with the lady for many years, and the old slave knows very well about the body of the lady. Big girl, Madame was killed! โ
Fingers unconsciously clenched the handle of the thin white porcelain cup, Jiang Ruan's eyes were cold, Zhao Mei's death was related to Xia Yan, she believed that this was true, if Jiang Quan also knew that this matter was tolerated so far, she would not be blamed for being ruthless in the future.
Thinking like this, I heard someone outside report: "Girl, Sister Cuckoo from Guilan Courtyard is here." โ
The cuckoo walked in with a smile: "The old lady asked the slave maid to invite the eldest lady to come over, there are some things to explain." โ
Jiang Ruan stood up and asked softly: "I'm tired of Sister Du Juan's run, let's go now, Sister Du Juan, do you know what is going on?" โ
The cuckoo smiled: "Miss, don't call it a slave and maid, a slave and maid can't afford it." I don't know what the slave and maid are, but look at this day, the Lantern Festival should be coming. โ
During the Lantern Festival, Jiang Ruan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression stiffened suddenly. The hands didn't seem to be straight, and the stone-like pestle was in place.
Bai Zhi worried: "What's wrong with the girl?" โ
Jiang Ruan came back to his senses and smiled: "It's nothing." The nails in the sleeves are secretly embedded in the palms.
Lantern Festival! Lantern Festival! The days that made her infamous in her previous life should have been the Spring Festival when she just returned home a few years later, the ridicule and ridicule in the eyes of everyone on that day, the worries of Xia Yan's mother and daughter, and Jiang Quan's indifference are vivid. In her first life, the day she returned to Jiang's Mansion was several years earlier, I don't know if the days of despair and despair in Lu Dao will be repeated, whether it is or not, there is one thing that is different, that is, she will not be slaughtered like a stupid pig, whoever harms her will give her a thousand times and will go back!
Du Juan looked at Jiang Ruan with a smile, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart, only to feel that Jiang Ruan's gaze seemed to be about to eat people, and it was no different from the evil ghosts in the eighteen-story hell painted on the walls of the temple, revealing a ghostly aura. In the next second, I saw Jiang Ruan looking at her with a smile, her eyes were as clear as flowing water in the mountains, and she said softly: "Let's go to my grandmother's yard." โ
In the Guilan Courtyard, Jiang Susu and Xia Yan had already arrived first, and when they saw Jiang Ruan and Du Juan coming in, Jiang Susu took the lead in jumping down from Mrs. Jiang's couch, and her tone was uncontrollable excitement: "Big sister, it's the Lantern Festival in three days, grandmother ordered the sisters in our house to go to the Linglong boat to play together, the big sister hasn't been there yet, it's fun." โ
Xia Yan said gently: "Ruan Niang has just returned to the capital, and the Lantern Festival is very lively, so it's better to go and have a look together, and be happy." โ
Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows, sneering in her heart, sure enough, whether it was in the previous life or this life, Xia Yan's mother and daughter's mood of wanting to pit her had not changed at all.
The Lantern Festival is a very special festival in the Great Jin Dynasty, especially for those who love each other. Men and women of marriageable age come out to play on this day, and many good stories are fulfilled at the Lantern Festival. On this day, the children of the nobles in the capital have their own ways to play, respectively, there will be two carved dragons and phoenixes decorated with very gorgeous big flower boats, the young Miss Gaomen, the noble daughters, the princess and the like will sit on the Linglong boat, and the young Gaomen son, the prince, and the prince will sit on the green pine boat. The two flower boats swim in parallel in the lake, which is close to each other, and there is no lack of male and female defense.
The boat of the Lantern Festival, in fact, is just a blind date between the upper class nobles, young women can show their talents in front of these sons, if there is really a talent and talent, so that many sons fall in love, one night after the second day will be famous in the capital. So this day is another competition to confirm themselves, and the famous ladies are secretly competing, just willing to win a good future for themselves, a good man.
Jiang Susu's title of the first lady in Beijing is not due to the limelight at the annual Lantern Festival. Poor Jiang Ruan in his last life, he didn't know the doorway at all, and he was deceived by Jiang Susu into having a foreign appearance on the Linglong Fang, and then something like that happened. On the second day, Jiang Susu was no longer the person who was the most talked about after the Lantern Festival, because that person was replaced by Jiang Ruan, and on that day of the Lantern Festival, rumors spread in Beijing, and Jiang Ruan's reputation plummeted, becoming the biggest laughing stock in the capital.
If none of this is a big deal, there is a scene in my memory that is deeply engraved in my mind. On that day, everyone was full of ridicule and ridicule, and only the Eighth Prince spoke gently for Jiang Ruan. It's just that she was blind at the beginning, so she would see the ridicule in those eyes as care.
In this life, she knows the ambition of the wolf under his gentleman's face, and what kind of gift should she give to the Lantern Festival three days later to live in vain?
